CodeLite v1.0RC01 is now available for download, main changes from last uploaded revision (1457):

fixed make_deb.sh script, added the 'rename symbol' option to the accelerator table - Fixed: [#1963469 ] Add Tab width option - Removed obsolete option from Editor's options (set caret colour) which is now part of the lexers - set the default font to empty - so the system will choose the best for it - fixed make_mac_bundle.sh to copy correct files - On Mac exit is forced at the main frame destruction. this is a temporary solution until a proper fix is applied - fixed on Mac 'resolve ambiguity' dialog will now properly display the list items - updated make_mac_bundle.sh to include the wx library as part of the bundle - Implemented FR# [ 1965668 ] Add a new environment variable to the CodeLite.exe path $(CodeLiteApp) - Fixed: Find implementation / declaration will now give priority to scoped tags over global tags - Replaced wxScintilla CC box with custom implementation. this solves the following bugs:

 - case sensitive matches are now displayed properly
 - when hitting Ctrl-Z/Y/C etc, the CC will disappear
 - CodeCompletion box and function tip window can now co-exist
 - CodeCompletion box now uses case sensitive match search first, if it fails, it will try again with non-case sensitive match
 - when single choice exist, it will be inserted automatically to the control and CL will fix any case sensitive typos

- Fixed bug# 1967745 Find in Files doesnt work if special characters are included - find/replace was re-writtern from scratch and now works much better (better regex support) the modified code does not apply to Find In Files, only for single file search/replace - New: CodeLite now allows search and replace with selected text (Find/Replace dialogs were modified accordingly) - New: Bookmark All -> will now also highlight the word with alpha rectangle at the back of it - New: Find / Replace dialogs, now have button to 'Clear all bookmarks' - When selecting: Bookmark All in 'Find/Replace' dialog, old bookmarks are now removed automatically - On Linux, the alpha rectangle is drawn as transparent rectangle with only border - applied fix which should fix random crashes that occurs on file save - further thread safety issues - centered the following dialogs: quick outline, open resource, open type and find/replace - New: Highlight Word feature: when enabled (blue marker icon in the toolbar) and the caret is placed on a word, its background will be coloured. The colour is configurable via the 'Settings -> Editor -> Bookmarks' - Fixed: a fix that apply for wxMac, caused the CC box not response to up/down arrows, this is fixed now - Highlight word policy changed, it is now highlighted when user selects text either by Ctrl+Left Click OR by double cliking a word - Find / Replace will set the caret to statring origin incase the search/replace failed to find any matches - Find/Replace: A message box will appear incase no matches were found - moved the 'highlight word' functionality to secondary thread for better user experience - New: Copyright plugin: a small plugin that allows one to easily add copyright notice into the entire workspace/project or a single file - removed backtick from codelite_prefix.h file - Applied pacth for [FR 1964181] Ability to change source file encoding - Jacek Kucharski - cenered dialogs on Mac: The following dialogs were centered on Mac:

  Tags Options, env variables, debugger settings, editor's settings, project settings, svn commit dialog and svn options dialog

- moved the navigation bar to be embedded inside the main editing area instead of being a toolbar, this to resolve an issue that toolbars does not appear in toolbar under wxMac. - refactored the 'replace in files' - > should be *much* faster now by factor ~20 - on dark theme, the word highlight indicators uses an empty rectangle rather than opaque one - this makes the selection much more effective - default word highlight color is set to light blue - 'Add function implementation' now properly respects const functions
